Yes, I've got it.

Hang in there Bob, and don't forget that some of the "alternative" stuff has
a lot of merit--so long as it doesn't cause some sort of adverse reaction
with your prescribed medications.

I'm confident that there is time remaining on the Life Membership, and look
forward to reading a lot more from you!

******** to the "alternative stuff"
people have a wonderful mechanism called the subconscious which can
make you feel wonderful even when the cancer is in its most aggressive
stages. stick with the medication regime it is what is going to
clobber the little bugger.

I know it doesnt sound like it but I really do commiserate. the
experience is damn confronting. get yourself a nice comfortable lounge
chair out in the workshop so that when you get tired you can rest.
dont mope about, you're made of stiffer stuff than that.

if you dont feel like anything else make a truss rib. NACA 23102 and
48 inches chord. that's what the single seat Druine Turbulent takes.
wonderful little aeroplane that uses a 1600cc VW conversion.

I can even give you a convalescence plan gratis if you need it.

hang in there boy, you can beat it.

...now get off your bum and get out and build. :-)

You're on! And I am bloody-well serious. Not the whole bird; forward
fuselage, please. Fuel tank. Main spar. Put it on DeltaCAD if you
got it, otherwise whatever works.

The thing is, I want to fabricate the forward fuselage and hang the
engine using the method I prefer, which uses a space-frame mount with
the prop on the clutch-end of the crankshaft. Lotsa little details in
getting the load back into the main structure at minimum weight.

Nor am I saying it'll be better -- probably won't. But it's an itch
I'd really like to scratch.
